It’s been almost two months since I stepped into the role of editor here in Regina and this is my first communication directly to you, the readers of the Leader-Post. To be honest, it’s something I would have preferred to do sooner. But there’s a good reason for the delay — a massive project that […]

Physics researchers at the University of Regina received a high-profile award this week for studying a type of sub-atomic particle that could help better understand how the universe formed. The $3-million 2016 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics was divided among five separate experiments into neutrino oscillations, said Mauricio Barbi, project lead for the Regina team, […]

A consultant who studied SaskPower’s carbon capture and storage (CCS) project at Boundary Dam power station near Estevan says the Crown corporation should have known there would be start-up problems at the $1.5-billion CCS plant and that it would take two to three years before the plant would be operating at 100 per cent of […]

The head of Chicago-based steelmaker Evraz North America, a major supplier of pipe to the Keystone XL pipeline, said Friday he’s “disappointed in President (Barack) Obama’s decision to deny the permit that would allow the pipeline project to move forward.”

Saskatchewan can expect to see roughly the same number of oil and natural gas wells drilled next year as it did this year, according to the latest forecast from the Petroleum Services Association of Canada (PSAC), which was released Tuesday in Calgary.

Diana Hawryluk can drive through several communities in Saskatchewan and think, “Wow, I helped create this.” Twenty-five years from now, she will hopefully be able to say the same about a 300,000-resident Regina. In short order, Hawryluk has risen to the top planning position at the City of Regina, overseeing the municipality’s growth through its official community plan. […]

Brad Herauf’s experience at the Western Canada Challenge Cup was about more than wins and losses. The head coach of Saskatchewan’s under-16 hockey team had no trouble looking at the big picture despite an 0-4 record at the tournament, which concluded Sunday in Calgary. “For me and my coaching path, that’s how you get better,” […]

This time, it’s for real. That was the message from the groundbreaking ceremony at the Capital Pointe project site at Victoria Avenue and Albert Street on Thursday morning. The on-again, off-again, $100-million, 27-storey condominium-hotel complex was on again, but this time for good.

Two people are facing charges after a police chase in southwest Saskatchewan that led RCMP officers down a provincial highway, grid roads and through farmers’ fields. The incident began on Friday morning when the Shaunavon RCMP was called to a residence where a vehicle that had been stolen in Redcliff, Alta., was located.

There’s a rite of passage for WHL newcomers that has little to do with filling water bottles or packing the team bus. In the grand scheme, traditional rookie chores are a superficial component of their baptism to life in major-junior hockey. The true initiation takes place on the ice when players are thrown into hockey’s equivalent of shark-infested waters.

The power play of the Calgary Hitmen was a killer on Sunday afternoon. Calgary scored five times with the man advantage — including three goals in the third period — en route to a 5-1 WHL win over the Regina Pats before 6,509 fans at the Scotiabank Saddledome.

The Regina Pats are hoping for a Medicine Hat trick — their third consecutive victory. Fresh off back-to-back wins on home ice, the Pats are to begin a five-game WHL Central Division road swing tonight against the Medicine Hat Tigers.

A serial burglar who already had 19 prior residential break-ins on his criminal record is now doing time for even more. Gordon R. Bellegarde pleaded guilty to to 12 break and enters, along with a handful of other charges, during an appearance at Regina Provincial Court last week.

The Regina Pats are being graded on a curve this season, but that doesn’t mean they get an automatic pass from John Paddock. It’s a balancing act for the veteran bench boss, who’s willing to consider the degree of difficultly when his young lineup faces two of the top-ranked teams in the CHL.

Chad VanGaalen is one of Canada’s most productive minds. The Calgary-based artist is a musician, animator, instrument maker and inspirational weirdo. He has made mind-bending music videos for acts like Timber Timber and METZ; his illustrated videos are intricate and trippy. The same can be said about his synth-soaked indie rock.

As Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall met with New Brunswick Premier Brian Gallant on the Energy East Pipeline Friday, a term as unexpected as the pairing of a conservative prairie boy and a Liberal Maritimer popped up: “nation building.” The very term would seem to represent a quaint, old ideal more applicable to the pages of […]
